:Hey I won't criticize you. I thought that was my dsl doing it but it does
:not happen on my windows box. Whenever I start doing something that involves
:traffic on my freebsd box it will not respond remotely for about 30 seconds.
:Whats up with it?

    Typically startup-delays in the 30-second range are due to broken DNS.
    Typically the host involved has trouble looking up its hostname or
    looking up its IP address (reverse DNS).  It can take a while for the
    DNS request to timeout, hence the delay.
